1. Picking the Right Rug
Material Matters: Wool offers durability and natural stain resistance. Silk adds sheen and fineness. If your space gets a lot of foot traffic, go for harder-wearing weaves.
Size & Scale: Bigger is better — a rug that’s too small makes a room look disjointed. Let your furniture anchor the edges.
Pile & Weave: Flat-weave rugs lie low and are easier to clean; longer pile gives softness and depth but needs more upkeep.
2. Underlay & Placement
Place a good pad underneath: it prevents slipping, insulates sound, and extends rug life.
Rotate your rug every few months to even out wear and sun-fading.
3. Cleaning & Maintenance
- Vacuum regularly (without beater brush on delicate fibers).
- Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth; avoid rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent or get professional care.
- Avoid placing rugs in direct, harsh sunlight — UV will fade colors over time.
4. What to Expect Over Time
Natural fibers will mellow slightly with age — minor shedding is normal in the first few months.
Perfect symmetry and exact color match to digital images can vary; your rug is handmade, expect uniqueness.
